Game Day: @CMU - emu steve - 02-17-2018 05:40 AM
Chance to go .500 in conference with a win today against the Chips.
I'm surprised but the Chips are a 2.5 favorite. Guess Vegas doesn't believe we can win on the road...
Here are this mornings' standings as the middle of the MAC is all bunched up and ALL FIVE games today will affect the seeds of teams in the middle...

EMU has a clear size and talent advantage in this one so I'll say CMU by 10.
RE: Game Day: @CMU - Jerry Weaver - 02-17-2018 12:15 PM
Honestly with five games left in conference, this game and NIU next Saturday are the two must win games in order to be respectable. I doubt we beat Toledo either at home or away. Also while Western is beatable, I'd say our chances are less than 50% in Kalamazoo.

Talent: EMU > CMU (edge EMU)
Coaching: CMU = EMU (coaches on hot seat)
Home Court Advantage: CMU
Prediction: CMU 73 EMU 72

Halftime adjustments CMU > EMU (this comes standard for all EMU games).
When you only play zone defense, it is pretty simple.
CMU shoots well from outside=CMU wins
CMU cold from outside=CMU loses

Clicker alert: EMU women are in a tight one with CMU's women.
RE: Game Day: @CMU - emu steve - 02-17-2018 02:42 PM
Don't know if all the WBB fans will stay for the MBB's game, but there is a LARGE crowd for the women's game (in Mt. P).
Their attendance for the women are greater than for the men...
(BTW, EMU went into a scoring funk and getting defeated badly now. Was a 3 point game not long ago. 13 - 1 CMU run).

TOL is looking very beatable today. Getting smoked by the Cardinals nearing the half.

WOW. That one was a shocker! Not even close.
RE: Game Day: @CMU - emu steve - 02-17-2018 04:38 PM
CMU is playing the zone against us. How dare they...
RE: Game Day: @CMU - TheWoodenNickle - 02-17-2018 04:38 PM
Small crowd in chipville. Thought they always packed em in. Isn't that what George says? Hey George! Where are your people?

They did something crazy? They split a doubleheader. The WBB game started at 1 and then there was 1 1/2 hour break.
The WBB game outdrew this game. Big time.
RE: Game Day: @CMU - FrankAnderson - 02-17-2018 04:53 PM
Keno has never figured out the zone. Usually we blow them out, but when they're competitive, they do so on abnormally high 3 point shooting.
It took them being among the top five/ten 3-point% teams in the country to beat us the last time. 5 in a row for us.
RE: Game Day: @CMU - TheWoodenNickle - 02-17-2018 04:53 PM
CMU's treys are going to keep them in the game. Might want to extend the defense and take that away.

Murphyball sucks at rebounding.
RE: Game Day: @CMU - emu steve - 02-17-2018 05:09 PM
Game is our 3-ball shooting. Minnie is ice cold.

Shooting 1-9 from 3. Atrocious.

This is the game. What are we 1 - 9.
We can't have our opponent shoot 50% and us 11%.
